A CALDWELL paper dispenses
Cherokee news as follows. "The
Cherokee council convenes at Tah-
lequah on the first Monday in No
vember. The session this winter
will be more than usually inter-
esting, as representatives Of an
eastern syndicate to purchase
all or part of their lands will be
present, besides the officers of the
Cherokee Strip Live Stock asso-
citation who are anxious to secure
another five years lease. 1t is also
thoguht that the government will
make some approach towards pur-
chasing or obtaining their lands,
and the Cherokees are favorable
toward sale to the government
of a part of the strip, but their
figures arc about $3.50 per acre,
which probably is more than
the government will be willing to
pay. 1t is thought that the stock
association will obtain lease, but
the lease will be subject to sale. u

JENNY .L.ind,s Voice.

Twice during her life she lost control OF
her voice The first time while her career
was only budding, the second shortly after
the birth of her son while living in Qres-
den, in 1858 On both occasions the voice
returned to her as it had departed and
both times its presence was accidentally
discovered. It is well known that she
became singer at the remarkably early
age of 10 years She had spent but one
year in a music school in Stockholm when
her debut. was effected in he Court
theatre. For two years she continued
to give promise of great lyric career,
when the upper notes of her voice became
hard and she was forced into retirement.
For four years all thought Of public life
was abandoned, when one evening she was
called upon to fill an unimportant role 1n
one OF Meyerbeer's operas by reason Of
the Illness of the young woman to whom
1t had been intrusted. To this accident
the fame of Jenny Lind Is due, for that
night she discovered that the sweetness
and purity Of her voice had returned, and
the next night she was invited to sing
